Rachel's cottage: The sequel

Another long weekend in the summer has come and gone, but it was lovely. Once again, a few of us adventurous FT folk went up to Rachel's cottage in the Muskokas. So nice. This time was much more relaxing - only five us went: Rob Awesome, David, Karl, Rachel and I - which gave us the much needed space to let our hair down.

We actually left for out destination on Saturday morning seeing as there were people staying at the cottage until noon of that day. It was a good trip up - everyone got a preview of the Freekout Tree Point Oh CD, which was fun (despite the disagreements between Karl and I when it comes to classic rock being good music). We talked and joked, and eventually made it to the cottage. We unpacked the car and headed into Mactier for groceries, which is always fun with 5 people. After that it was swimming, reading and watching movies. Really. Not much else other than that. Well, maybe the only variation was the addition of my good friend Jon for dinner on Sunday, but other than that, it was just lovely monotony.

Some highlights were bonding with the little girls who lived in the two cottages over from us. Sunday afternoon while swimming, we finally talked to our neighbours. The girl Jamie, dubbed "Little J" by me, and the other girl Jess and Emily were so fun. I talked with them, played in the water - they even gave me a bracelet. It made me laugh and think of Rim Rock and all the good times I had being a camp counsellor. Another highlight was a late night swim in the moonlight with Rachel, and finding a new spot to swim to across the lake.

All in all, a great weekend, thanks Rachel!
